we don't tax wealth. i think the suggestion is a principle that i will take into into the comprehensive tax reforms because i believe that wealth should be taxed. you cannot hide it in the cayman island. you can't hide it in capital gains. why should that be taxed at a different rate? because you're going to reinvest that money? that didn't happen in 2001 or 2003. the unemployment rate there is horrible. president bush had a terrible second term, lost hundreds of thousands of jobs. what the heck are we talking about here? where is the proof? where is the data. >> stephanie: representative john boehner said this yesterday. >> sound byte: the country doesn't need a victory lap. it needs leadership. >> oh, shut up. >> caller: that's a great line. >> stephanie: this is what the president ran on. this was not a victory lap. this was the defining argument of the election that he just won. the american people voted for this. this is what we should be doing. >> caller: stephanie, i only hope, i would not say this
